My kids didn’t start school at the same time this year, my oldest began Grade 4 three days before her sisters. It was really odd having this staggered ‘back to school’ routine, I really can’t say I liked it at all.
The worst part was that it really confused the twins, they kept asking why their sister was at school and they weren’t. We all know how repetitive this gets {worse than ‘are we there yet’}, so when the day finally came for them, we were all more than happy.
Last week I shared a photo of Isabelle’s First Day of Grade 4.
This post? It’s dedicated to the twins and their first day of Kindergarten. How’d that sneak up so fast? Smiles on and ready to go, they were so excited. Unlike their older daughter too, I was able to get a TON of photos to commemorate the day {as in, not just one photo then many eye-rolls thereafter}.
Yet, new and unknown is a little intimidating. They listened and took it all in, yet never left each others side. In fact, when on the tour of the school, this is how they walked. And didn’t.let.go.
Let it stand for the record that these two hardly ever hold hands. Even when crossing the street and I ask them to, is met with some degree of complaining and arguing. So this moment captured? I die!!
It was agreed by the twins that Kindergarten is about the best thing ever. First day, success!
My little Miss Katie & Sophia … Kinders!

How sweet! Are they in the same class? That’s good they have each other through a sometimes scary event.
I remember how you posted about them not wanting to keep their diapers on. Time sure does slip on by. Isaak started Kindergarten on the 14th of August.

Hope Isaak had a great first {almost} month!!

I can’t help thinking how lucky they are to have each other to share this big milestone with. That photo of them holding hands is just too sweet.
Tammi says
Yes, I think so too. I would have loved to have a sister like they have. Such a special relationship!
alex says
so sweet! My youngest started Kindergarten this year too! in our district, they all started on the same day, but the neighboring district had the kinder “slow start” as well. too confusing! I was just glad to see them off on the same morning! bittersweet, but still so proud! 🙂
Tammi says
We survived, and that’s the important thing, right?
🙂

Love all the Hello Kitty! They look happy and excited to be off to school.
Jennifer @ Mom Spotted says
That is weird that they make them start differently. They look beautiful on their first day! Glad they had each other.
Tammi says
I think it’s so that they get used to the teacher/school without ALL the kids there, maybe makes it easier for some?
paula schuck says
They are so cute! My favourite picture here is the cute backpacks and shoes. It’s perfect.
Tammi says
Thank you Paula! I wanted to remember every bot of that morning!
Soozle says
So beautiful! 🙂 Who was the first day harder for – you or them? 🙂 I hope their first day went well!

It’s so nice for your twins that they can have each other there for support on their first day of kindergarten! I guess that’s one of the perks of being twins.

Darlene Schuller says
aww.. you must enjoy those quiet moments at home now! I know I look forward to the girls going to school and the silence that befalls after. I don’t know about your ladies, but mine have the gift of gab… fast gab!
loriag says
Good for them, and good for you! Kindergarten can be scary but once they are in the door a fabulous thing.
Elizabeth Matthiesen says
what beautiful children, I’m sure it was an exciting day for all of you. So sweet that they held hands all the time. As a twin myself I found one of the most annoying things was that we only ever seemed to count together. First question when I was on my own was always where my sister was! Now if she had only been a sister and not a twin no one would have bother asking. Weird eh?
desiree says
the kid look like a great deal andtheni had twin a glri and boy and then they were a hand full
Angie Andrews says
Glad to hear they had a wonderful first day and how sweet of the two of them to hold hands 🙂
Anne C. says
Your girls are absolutely adorable. I remember well many years ago, they are 27 now, when mine girls started Kindergarten. They put them in separate classes and pretty well all through school it was that way.
